Sumbangan tersebut telah disampaikan dalam satu majlis penyerahan cek replika oleh Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini, Pengerusi 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad, yang turut disertai oleh Co-CEO 7-Eleven Malaysia, Encik Tan U-Ming.

Sepanjang Ramadan, ratusan jemaah berkumpul di masjid bukan sahaja untuk menunaikan ibadah, malah turut berkongsi juadah ringkas bersama, mencerminkan nilai kemurahan hati, kebersamaan dan kesyukuran yang menjadi inti pati bulan suci ini.
Masjid Negara sekian lama menjadi mercu tanda kerohanian dan pusat komuniti di mana rakyat Malaysia daripada pelbagai latar belakang berkumpul sepanjang Ramadan. Daripada keluarga dan pelajar hinggalah para pekerja serta musafir yang melalui ibu kota, masjid ini menjadi tempat untuk mendekatkan diri dengan Allah sambil merasai salam mesra sebuah komuniti yang saling mengambil berat antara satu sama lain.
Melalui program Ramadan yang dianjurkan oleh Persatuan Kebajikan Kakitangan Masjid Negara Kuala Lumpur, pek makanan moreh disediakan dan diagihkan setiap malam kepada para jemaah bagi memastikan mereka yang menunaikan solat berjemaah pada waktu malam dapat menikmati juadah sebelum pulang ke rumah. Inisiatif ini mencerminkan komitmen berterusan pihak masjid dalam memenuhi keperluan komuniti sepanjang bulan Ramadan.
Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini, Pengerusi 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad berkata bahawa Ramadan merupakan waktu yang penuh makna untuk masyarakat saling mendekati dan menyokong antara satu sama lain, dan syarikat berbesar hati dapat memainkan peranan kecil dalam menyokong usaha Masjid Negara dalam berkhidmat kepada para jemaah.
“Ramadan mengingatkan kita tentang pentingnya nilai belas ihsan, berendah hati, dan berkongsi rezeki bersama masyarakat. Kami berbesar hati dapat menyokong usaha Masjid Negara dalam menghimpunkan masyarakat melalui program moreh Ramadan ini dan berharap sumbangan ini dapat mewujudkan detik kebersamaan yang bermakna dalam kalangan para jemaah.”
Selain menyediakan makanan, program moreh ini turut memainkan peranan penting dalam mengeratkan hubungan sesama jemaah yang berkumpul setiap malam di masjid. Detik kebersamaan ini mencerminkan semangat sebenar Ramadan di mana amalan kebaikan dan sikap saling membantu mampu merapatkan lagi hubungan silaturahim dalam komuniti.

Tan Sri Mohd Annuar Zaini, Chairman of 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad said that Ramadan is a meaningful time for communities to come together and support one another, and the company is honoured to play a small part in supporting the efforts of Masjid Negara in serving its congregants.
“Ramadan reminds us of the importance of compassion, humility and sharing our blessings with the community. We are honoured to support the efforts of Masjid Negara in bringing people together through their Ramadan moreh programme and hope that this contribution will help create meaningful moments of togetherness among worshippers.”
Beyond providing food, the moreh programme plays an important role in strengthening the bonds among congregants who gather nightly at the mosque. These shared moments of fellowship reflect the true spirit of Ramadan where acts of kindness and generosity help bring communities closer together.
This contribution is also part of Semurni Kasih, 7-Eleven Malaysia’s annual community initiative during the Ramadan period, which focuses on supporting meaningful programmes that uplift communities and promote the spirit of care and generosity. Through Semurni Kasih, the company continues to work with various community partners to extend assistance to those in need while encouraging Malaysians to share kindness with one another.
Through this contribution, 7-Eleven Malaysia hopes to play a meaningful role in supporting initiatives that uplift local communities and ensure that the spirit of giving continues to be shared throughout Ramadan.
